They won't move. so log as you tie them in properly in my opinion you are worried about nothing.

What does sliders have to do with his question?. There are a million write ups on this so I won't go down that road. Most of the differences in the approach comes down to how you tie into the "back" side of the stock rocker area. Some people weld in angle first and slide in their rocker...

I would also suggest that your don't go over 1/8 or 10 guage. 3/16 is overkill in my book. After ten years of fabbing on my XJ I wish I have had taken more care with attention to weight and not used whatever metal I had on hand. Using 3/6 angle to tie into the floor plan is way overkill.

If you are starting from scratch, there is no 9" vs 44 debate. yes a junkyard 3rd is nothing to brag about but a 9" opens the door for huge capacity. You can grow a 9" to be just about all the axle you need without throwing everything out like you have to do with a 44. That and if you have...

Interested, but I don't see a latch, how to you open this? All is see is a nut at the latch side?

I think my biggest fear is that by the time I add tons and tires and I will really start to hate the 4.0. A new jeep is not in the cards and I already have plated the frame etc and I have a bender so I have no chassis concerns. The 4.0 is already a dog and I struggle on some muddy hill climbs...

Anyone regret going 1 tons? I was going to make the move a couple years ago but ended up selling the axles before I swapped them in. Now I kind of the bug to hop on the 1 tons and 40's bandwagon all over again. I have your typical XJ on 35's with highly polished 30/8.8 combo. For trail...

^^ agree 100%. You cannot be loving 4.88's on 40's with the stock 231, why compound the problem? You have clearly outgrown the 231 and are ready for a big boy case. I have a doubler with a built D300 and the gearing options are great on the trail. For 42's if you like technical stuff I would...

Just to update the thread in case someone is ever in my boat. After two trips to store for resistors I ended up not needing them. I had been driving the jeep around my property the past few weeks after getting it running. But only at very low speeds and the speedo didn't appear to work...

I picked up a 330ohm 1 watt today but I guess I was way off. I will go back on Monday. Thanks so much for your time. This is way over my head so you are helping me out big time.

what size resistor did you use?, turns out mine is not working, u just wire the resistor between the positive power and the signal wire?

what does the resister do? I just passed on the wire colors I found online, on my 2000 I had different color wires. I just ditched the power wire and wired the sensor in between the ground and signal wire and it worked.

In case someone is ever in the same boat you just buy a BWD S8025 speed sensor which screws right into the short output dana 300. Then wire as follows Jeep ----- VSS white ---> black black ---> black white stripe orange --- not used. It works!

is the DIY version only for ZJ? I don't see an XJ one on the site?

GM 1/2 ton axles are near the bottom of the gene pool, if it was a semi floating 14 bolt I would go for it but any 10/12 bolt is a pass..

I have no cruise and the 8.8 does indeed have an abs sensor in the housing. I suppose rather than buying a vss for the 300 and adapting the output with a Dakota box I could just hook up the Dakota box up to the abs sensor instead. When I get around to this I will investigate. For now at least...

ford 8.8 but that shouldn't matter. Thanks for all the replies. I guess I will just run it and see what kind of a problem it poses. As long as I know it will run ok I can deal with it when I have free time.

2000XJ AW4, I am wrapping up my doubler-D300 swap. I accidentally bought a short shaft D300 instead of the long shaft so I can't swap my 231 spedo into the D300. My rig is more or less trail only, any issues with just leaving the speedo harness off and giving up on the guage or will I suffer...

Mine is mounted on a clamp off the intake runner, airbox has to go but it will fit and the fluid level is above the pump intake. Took me a while to figure it out. I would not reduce the capacitiy of the resvoirs. They are small enough as it is.
